Scottish-born actress Deborah Kerr, best known for acting alongside Burt Lancaster in the 1953 film "From Here to Eternity", has died aged 86, her agent said on Thursday.
"She died on Tuesday," agent Anne Hutton said.
"Her family was with her at the time. She had suffered from Parkinson's disease for some time and had just had her 86th birthday and so was an elderly lady. She just slipped away."
Kerr was nominated for a best actress Oscar six times, including for her performances in "From Here to Eternity" and "The King and I", in which she appeared with Yul Brynner.
She finally won an honorary Academy Award in the early 1990s "in appreciation for a full career's worth of elegant and beautifully crafted performances".

Yes I remember her in many other films also. She always seemed rather prudish but yet very likable also.
NO ydnam that was Doris Day not Deborah Kerr who sang Que Sera Sera from the film Dont Pick the Daisies or something like that.
Deborah Kerr was in Black Narcissis and also a film with Cary Grant .. AnAffair to Remember and ...From Here to Eternity....The King and I.

I remember both thoses movies you mentioned. Although, I must admit to remembering most of "The king & I" but only the kiss in the surf & Burt Lancaster in "From here to eternity".

Yes...She was a beautiful and talented actress. I'm sorry to hear she passed away. She had an amazing voice as well. Her Anna in "The King and I" is a classic that will keep her memory alive for years to come.

YES. I remember her doing a movie with Walter Pigeon about a man trying to rebuild his mental attitude toward life after the London blitz was over.

A really lovely actress. I love the film she did with Robert Mitchum. She plays a nun whom the Robert Mitchum character falls in loves with.
